Friends, Hope you all had a nice New Year´s Eve. I usually feel that this time of year is a time of reflecting, memories from the past year and plans for the future. 2014 was definitely the busiest and one of the best years of my life. Spent a lot of time in the USA last year. I did five US-tours with Arrival From Sweden (usually 4-5 weeks at a time) got to see 30 different states and many different sides of the country, and the American audience is just amazing. Also spent five days playing on a cruise to Bahamas as well as playing in Canada, Bangkok, Singapore and New Delhi, India. We also did two short European tours with Karmakanic last year. The first one with The Flower Kings in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France and the second one together with The Tangent in Sweden, Germany, Holland and UK. Also did a couple of gigs in Sweden with my own jazz/fusion trio which was so much fun! Some of the highlights for me last year was playing at the unique Red Rocks in Colorado and on the beautiful Nantucket Island with the legendary Boston Pops Orchestra. This took place at the wonderful beach in front of 8000 + people. Another highlight was celebrating my 40th birthday in Paris with my girlfriend in May. We hooked up with our dear friends Roine & Lilian who happened to be in Paris at the same time and we all got tickets for the Steve Hackett band (Genesis)concert at Olympia. It was really great to see our friend Nad (who is singing with Steve) and the guys in the band again. I even got to have a chat backstage with Steve Harris from Iron Maiden, which was kind of unexpected and cool. We also released a couple of cool CD´s in 2014. Starting out with the release of the Karmakanic double live album - Live In the US in January and later in April Reingold Records released my fifth solo album Until Never my first ballad album. I would like to thank everyone who supported and bought that album. Thank you! Also managed to squeeze in some guest appearances on a couple of albums. Yes a very busy year indeed! Thank you all for making 2014 a year to remember. I´m really excited about 2015, working on a new solo album which I feel will be the best stuff that I´ve done. A new chapter. Also have some other exciting recordings coming up. More news later. Wishing you all a wonderful 2015 with good health, creativity, love and lots of fun. Happy New Year folks!! Peace, Lalle https://youtube/watch?v=cr-qlp0x76s
